I find myself worrying about winter time. My life is super busy from March to November. Winter time is slow. I spend a lot of time outside. Winter restricts that and in the past that has gotten me down. Changes in routine could make this worse. GAL will be important soon.
Winter in the midwest- I hear you! We lived in Iowa for 8 years and I definitely learned the definition of "cabin fever". You're right it will be an important time to start up a GAL activity. I know you're harvesting now, but you should already start planing in case winter starts up early. Woodworking, maybe?
